Introduction to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design

Event Type: Workshop

Date: February 29, 2012 to February 29, 2012

A workshop conducted by the New England ADA Center

On March 12, 2012 the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible design go into effect – the first major overhaul of the ADA Standards since they were issued in 1991. The 2010 ADA Standards include new specifications for employee areas, accessible routes, entrances, single user toilet rooms, recreation areas, college housing and more.

We focus on what’s new, what’s been dropped, requirements when alterations are undertaken, when an elevator is required and the revised formatting. Representatives from the Maine State Fire Marshall’s Office, the Maine Human Rights Commission and the Maine Accessibility Coordinator Office, Bureau of Rehabilitation Services will discuss their roles with plan review, implementation and enforcement. There will be plenty of time for your questions.
